Losing Trip

Spread the love

Made a trip with wife and mother-law. Mother doesn’t have ability to enjoy rigors of casino. We had two comped rooms so that was good. Not a focused trip. Fun. My shooting was good hitting the points within five toss of the dice. The roulette ate me up. The Slots ate me up. I only played one of those slots. We were chasing the loss on the stadium slots. They have made changes everywhere because of advantage players. I had to stop at a casino on the way back to base camp but was rushed because of mother. I did win some back there which reassured me that all is well. Will return to recoup our recent loss.  It is not always a winning day but remember to meditate on what went right and what went wrong. The two day loss is ok considering my twelve month win-loss record. But it still sucks.

Yep, not all trips are going to be winners. Remember that to way to win more money is to learn to LOSE less money.

Maybe forget about games that you can’t get an edge on like roulette or slots. If you like slots, learn video poker. Reflection is the best cure

Good hit yesterday afternoon at my local.   They let you do less than 5 on the Bonus   I had 2,2,2 

I hit one side  here in AZ they pay it a 35 175 35  NICE.   warmed up a little then Hit the Small then the TALL for ALL.   This was about 3:00pm  I was the only active shooter at the table.  One guy was just hanging out on the right hook observing.   After hitting the ALL  I shot once or twice more and not hitting much so decided to color up and leave with some profit.   All in less than 30 minutes.  I was toking the dealers having them on the line with me.  They where sad to see me leave.   Remember if it is a local and your going to play there a lot well advised to put the dealers on the line or give them some action.  They always take great care of me at the table.  Do you need drink tickets?  Etc..  In the summer heat a non alcoholic Strawberry Daquari is very GOOD.

Another great trip to the local.   I had a GT member on the table with me @finisher to verify I hit the ATS again We both on it.  and One of the regular players bet it HEAVY.  Finisher  Thank you for the peaches  I had one tonight after we got home your right very SWEET so good.  I was repeating a LOT on the nine. I also tried a Virgin Mudslide as I had to drive home.  Pretty darn good stuff.  Right after I hit the ATS the House phone was ringing for the BOX MAN .. I didnt hear much but just my name and that I had hit the ATS  I think maybe because that 1 guy had 20 dollars on it.. I know he tipped the dealers a hundred.  After this hit  I think I need to up my bet on the ATS when I’m throwing.  Although 2,2,2 is still a nice hit.   Many thanks to Dom and his great instructors..  I know I would NOT be at this level w/o their great coaching and instructions.

You did put a smile on my face this morning!

Glad that I got there before your roll . That way I could bet on you . I went in with little since just got there . I was thinking that you would have another good roll . Hitting that ATS with just 1/1/1 on it was still great since I bought in for 100 .00 . 

We are making peach clobber today . 

The wife was surprised that you had so many black chips .

It took a long time for the dice to get to me and that table is still giving me trouble . I guess I need to get my table to the new house for some practice .

You needed that 5 for so long and then you threw it right back for the point which was nice . That tall was hit pretty fast . But just that 5 was teasing you . I think  on the RTW game you had a roll like that one time  were you were on roll 34 with no 5 then rolled 3 of them . 

Winning is always FUN.

Good Rolling.

Went to casino last night . It took almost as long as it takes to get to Kingman . We wanted to see the 70 acre Sun Flower farm but decided was to late so went to casino . Still no luck in for 200 out with 3  with 17 points . Rolled 4 times and made just one bet on others . That table does not like me . I did get a 10.00 5 up to 20.00 but did not hit it again . It was on a Rande . Rande needed a 11 for tall but no luck with 111 on it .

Last trip to Laughlin did not hit one bonus bet . That was a 3 day trip . Did hit it 3 times on Randes 2 smalls and one tall no all .

Good Rolling.

Sun flower farm must be something to see for sure.  Enjoyed gaming report.

Finisher,  I hit the Small twice Wednesday at a local here.  I needed the 12 but it never happened.  It was one of the Casino’s that makes you put a min of 5 on it.  Luckily I was on it the first hit.  This place they will let you go back on it.  One of the other shooters put 10 on it.. I  HIT it again.  But I could NEVER Make that dam 12 to get the ALL.  But 2 SMALLS on the same ROLL not BAD.  It was probably a 40 plus roll.  One of the players put the Crew on the small the first time for 5$  So they complimented me on my roll.  ha ha.. Not a bad tip for them. 175. I bought in for 300 and cashed out at 1115 .  I’ll need it for the points thing this weekend.

Sounds like a good time to me. I never think to play those smalls and bigs. They are not available at my Casinos so I never think of it when I travel. They are fun for sure. Dealers will remember you Sir.  Cheers

@cotton-lob  It is a HIGH house edge bet.   I don’t place it on the randoms.
